Chapter 5: It's just a bond right?

Hours had passed and I had just stayed in the bathroom all alone. No one had come looking for me. I felt alone and like I was losing oxygen. I couldn't breathe or concentrate on the room right in front of me. I lost any sense of anything. I lost sense of reality all because I was promised to a Malfoy. Draco. They couldn't make me go through with it though. It sounds like they even had second thoughts and hid me. I would bet anything it was because of Voldemort. But why come forward with me now, Voldemort is more a threat than any. Even if Blaise was telling the truth earlier and Draco truly had no desire to be a death eater. It didn't matter, I wouldn't marry the person who caused me so much pain throughout the years. I finally stood up and looked in the mirror. I really looked and realized I looked really good, if you didn't count the red eyes and tear stained face. It was time to face reality. I opened the door into my bedroom, it was pitch black so I felt for my wand and used it to produce light. I found the light switch near the door to the hallway and turned it on. I heard a rustling near the window seat. I turned and Blaise was sitting there.

"You were there for a while." He looked at me.

"Well not even 24 hours ago I found out that I wasn't who I thought I was and now I have to marry the one person who degraded and abused me verbally all through the years. I think I earned a couple hours to myself thanks." I may have been a tad bit too harsh at the end. This whole dilemma was not his fault. I turned and sat on my bed. "Anything specific you wanted to talk about? Or are you just wasting the time I could be sleeping."

"Yea, I know you are upset. But there was a reason my parents, our parents did this." He sighed. "They did it for protection, deep down you know it." I nodded "Anyway see you in the morning, Night."

"Wait," he paused "is there anyway this can be… undone?" He looked at me with what looked like Pity.

"Ron?" he looked at me, I nodded. "No I think this is as perminmite as most unbreakable vows are. Sorry sis. Night. Love you." I sighed

"Love you too, and Night." This was bad. Really bad. I layed down, but I couldn't fall asleep. I decided I had to do some research. I looked through the books in my room. I found one on the powerful and magical bond between twins, especially the rarity of twins that were opposite genders. Great. Then I had found another book that said some twins develop special powers. It can be hard to tell what these are because most twins keep this power hidden. After I read this book and got bored of the little rewarding information in it, I picked up the other book I found. It was on Vows. Basically it said that the Unbreakable Vow could not be undone unless the two people who made the vow died. This was pertaining to marriages and the like. Just perfect. I looked at the clock, 3 am. Time to try and fall asleep again. This time when I laid down I actually felt the sweet release of sleep.

I awoke in Hogwarts. I knew right away what day it was. It was the day Draco Malfoy first called me Mudblood, the day Ron ate slugs. I watched as miniature versions of everyone went around and the scene occured. However, suddenly the scene changed. I was alone in the courtyard and the only other people I could see were the people I believed were my parents. John had a belt in his hand. Jean had rope. They advanced fast, I tried to run but I was glued to the spot. Suddenly they began to beat me and yell at me about the ugly disgusting thing I had become. This went on and on until I felt a hand.

I screamed until my voice was gone and was crying. Whoever had woken me was now holding me and comforting me. I figured it was Blaise. As I calmed down I listened to the shhhing and inhaled the scent of not my brother but the man i was supposed to marry. I pulled away and just stared at him. Blaise had come in but was behind Draco, which makes me think that Draco was the first one out of their shared room. I opened my mouth to try and verbalize anything, but nothing came out.

"You screamed yourself corse. You need to rest your voice. Come on let's get tea and something to eat." Blaise resoned. He held his hand out and I grabbed it we walked out, I could hear that Draco was following us. It was strange. When I looked at him he looked terrified. He looked as though he was crying before finding me in the middle of a nightmare. We got tea and some sort of cake. It was good, I was actually relaxed. Blaise had gotten up to go to the bathroom leaving myself alone in a room with Draco.

"Why were you crying?" He just turned away from me. "Draco. Answer me. Please. Why were you crying?" There was a long silence and then he looked at me. He had begun to cry again. I reached across towards him and grabbed his hand. He opened his mouth and closed it again. Then he spoke.

"I argued with my father to try and get you out of the marriage promise. I know that you and Ron have this thing. But my father is not one who is moved easily. He cursed me over and over. My mother just sat there." I myself could feel the tears falling. "Dont cry, I am used to this by now. Why do you think I am here all the time. Its my sweet release. He smiled. But I could tell it was forced.

"I am so sorry Draco. If I had known. I .." He took my hand and kissed the back of it. He smiled adn set it down on the table again. He got up.

"You can find your way back to your room right?" I nodded. "Night Eleanor. Oh and we need to find a nickname." he paused. "How about Lennie?" I smiled and nodded. "Great, Night Lennie"

"Night Draco." With that I was alone. Shit
